ST. LOUIS, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As the millions of devoted iPod enthusiasts in the US know, there's nothing quite as frustrating as running out of power while on a plane or at the beach. Very soon, that problem will become a thing of the past. Energizer Holdings, Inc.

It features a patented intelligent control chip that maximizes power transfer to the iPod, and its unique flip design allows iPod owners to use it as a stand while charging and fold it for easy storage. Sleek enough to complement the iconic styling of the iPod, the compact charger travels easily and is exceptionally lightweight.
